Compiling emacs should work with the approprate Sun Workshop compiler
installed (and licensed). The pre-K&R compiler that ships with the OS
is not good enough.  gcc (of appropriate vintage) was able to
bootstrap itself using it and is what we used all the time. 

SunOS v4.1.4 was one of the primary platforms that everything conformed to.
Everything of appropriate vintage should compile out-of-the box. You
shouldn't have to do much to make it work.
